Chapter 796: Li Zhenzhen
Shangjing City.
A certain deserted alley.
A girl around sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in a bright red baseball uniform, walked down the center of the road with her hands in her pockets, her head lowered, and her eyes slightly red.
“What the hell… Who needs you to take care of me? I can do just fine on my own!”
She muttered softly, raised her head high, and blinked hard twice, trying her best not to let the tears fall.
All the way, she alternated between looking down and looking up, managing to keep a single tear from breaking through her defenses, flowing from her eyes filled with sorrow.
When she reached the end of the alley, seeming a bit angry, she kicked a soda can in the corner.
The can bounced off the walls on both sides of the alley and, by coincidence, landed at the other end of the street, hitting a thug squatting by the roadside on the forehead, leaving a shallow red mark.
The four or five thugs squatting by the road, seeing the red mark on their leader’s head, froze in place.
“Damn! Boss, are you okay?!”
“Who?! Who dares to ambush the boss?!”
“It’s that girl! Beat her up!”
The thugs immediately spotted the girl in the bright red baseball uniform across the street and jumped up from the ground, disregarding the flashing red and green lights, charging directly across the road with fierce expressions!
The girl blinked, and instead of showing any fear, excitement appeared on her face.
Just as she took a step forward, as if remembering something, her gaze fell on the surveillance camera next to the traffic light. After a moment of silence, she withdrew her right foot and took a few steps back into the alley, provocatively beckoning the thugs rushing across the street with her finger.
This action reignited the anger in the hearts of the thugs, and they rushed into the alley, picking up scattered bricks and steel pipes from both sides, growling:
“A little girl, really doesn’t know how to die… Hit her! Hit her to death!”
Seven or eight thugs swarmed forward!
……
“Zhenzhen?”
Hearing this name, Lin Qiye and the others looked puzzled. “Is she a member of your Team 006?”
“No.” Zhang Zhengtian sighed helplessly. “Li Zhenzhen is a girl we rescued during a ‘Mysterious’ extermination operation a few years ago.
That year, a ‘Mysterious’ entity went berserk and charged into a stray cat and dog shelter. The shelter was run by a family of four. The male owner had made quite a bit of money in his early years, and their family life was good. In his retirement, he opened this shelter to help stray cats and dogs, hoping to accumulate some good karma for his children…
Unfortunately, when the ‘Mysterious’ entity burst into the shelter, the power it released turned everyone and every animal inside to ashes. Among the family of four, only the youngest daughter survived because she had gone out to buy sweet potatoes for her mother.”
Upon hearing this story, Lin Qiye and the others fell silent.
“That girl is the Li Zhenzhen you mentioned?” After a long while, Lin Qiye asked, “But shouldn’t there be a special place at headquarters for underage children who survived the ‘Mysterious’ invasion? Why has she stayed with your team all this time?”
“Originally, we did plan to settle her according to the procedure…” Zhang Zhengtian said with a bitter smile, “But who would have thought that on the very night her family perished, a deity suddenly appeared and chose her as a representative.
As you know, once a deity’s representative appears, the usual handling methods no longer apply.
Later, we negotiated with headquarters. Because Li Zhenzhen was too young to join the Night Watchers, and her mental state was very unstable after her family was killed, she was temporarily fostered in our Shangjing City team. Through long-term cohabitation with us, we hoped to gradually help her heal her emotional wounds and integrate into the Night Watchers community.”
“I see, so she’s a deity’s representative…”
Lin Qiye nodded.
Once a deity’s representative appears, the nature of the situation changes completely. The handling method in Shangjing City was indeed correct. Back when Lin Qiye had just become a Seraphim representative, he too was directly made a reserve member of Team 136 stationed in Cangnan, gradually integrating into the Night Watchers community.
The difference was that Li Zhenzhen was much younger at that time, so she stayed with the Shangjing City team for a longer period.
“By the way, which deity is she a representative of?” Bai Li Pangpang asked curiously.
Zhang Zhengtian’s expression stiffened, and he scratched his head awkwardly.
“The deity she represents, um… how should I put it…
Very… special?”
……
“Oh~~ My dearest Princess Zhenzhen! Please let your shoe soles linger on my face a little longer. Being able to get so close to you is the greatest fortune of my life!”
“Thank you, fate’s soda can, for bringing us together. Without it, perhaps… I would never truly understand what it feels like to fall in love with someone~”
“Zhenzhen! Don’t leave me! Zhenzhen! We can’t live without you, Zhenzhen!”
“Thief pot is love!! Love!!”
“……”
In the alley, the thugs who had once looked fierce were now lying on the ground, crying their eyes out. They lifted their dark-ringed eyes, and in those tear-filled gazes was a love as deep as the ocean…
Li Zhenzhen kicked over a thug who kept pawing at her shoe soles and rolled her eyes.
She turned around, and the golden bow and arrow in her right hand vanished with the breeze. She rotated her neck and let out a long breath…
Fighting really is the best way to vent emotions!
It didn’t feel so bad anymore.
In a good mood, Li Zhenzhen walked back down the alley. Just after turning two corners, her eyes narrowed slightly.
She saw a white cat with heterochromia quietly lying on the broken wall across the alley, its yellow and red eyes staring at her, deep and eerie.
“A stray cat?” Li Zhenzhen felt a stir in her heart and quickly walked to the broken wall, examining the exceptionally beautiful white cat.
“What a rare breed… It’s very clean, doesn’t look like it has been wandering outside for long. It must have just gotten separated from its owner?” Li Zhenzhen murmured to herself.
She cautiously extended her hand, her fingertips gently probing the cat’s chin, wanting to lift it down from the broken wall.
“Are you a deity’s representative?”
At that moment, the white cat lying on the broken wall suddenly spoke a human language.
Li Zhenzhen’s pupils constricted, and she instinctively took two quick steps back, reaching out to grasp the air. The golden longbow appeared in her hand, and her right fingertip condensed into an arrowhead shaped like a red heart, nocked on the longbow, her face filled with vigilance.
“Who… are you?”
